I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"
Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.
imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

Foolish going in with two totems as a part-totem who never, never uses totems. His screams for Leo as the ceiling caves in, trying desperately to throw her a totem through the barrier. Digging, trying to glitch, trying to problem solve in a situation so chaotic and so impossible, there’s just nothing he can do. Not leaving until his totem pops - until he can’t see Leo anymore. Repeating to himself that she was right there, just right there, he couldn’t even get her a totem, he couldn’t do anything.
Foolish staying behind to make sure Tina and Mouse get out, to make sure he sticks with Cellbit, telling himself he can feel it later, as long as they survive, he can feel it later - and running out of time. If he hadn’t stayed behind digging for Leo, he would have made it. If he hadn’t given all but one of his enderpearls to the others, he would have made it. If he wasn’t looking over his shoulder for Cellbit, he would have made it.

i gotta know, how to the bodies communicate for trumpets
because we already know that towers use radio waves, do trumpets use similar methods? or something slower than light? that could be interesting where they think just as complex as we can, it's just slower because (based on the scale of chariot in the planets post) it could take a few seconds at near light speeds to send a signal from one side to the other and trumpets are planet-wide collective intelligences
idk idk, i just wanna know how that works, i love your aliens and trumpets seem untalked about, which is a shame
On Trumpet performance language
Trumpets have evolved by using their nodes’ behaviors rather than overriding them. Interpersonal language is applied instinctual displays from nodal species. The timing, actor positions relative to other actors, and viewing angle influence the meaning of a concert’s performance.
Since trumpet acted language and written language evolved independently, they don’t have a strong correlation until organized society much later, when performances begin needing records, and records begin needing to be read by trumpets other than the author.
On memory
Trumpets store information using the collective memories of the flora and fauna that live on them: nodes.
Sessile organisms take in memories, relay information, and listen for inquiries. Their memory is dense and quickly readable, something similar to computer RAM.
Motile nodes can also store memory, but due to their minds being preoccupied with processing their experiences and placing priority on relevant knowledge, they aren’t reliable for long term storage since they are susceptible to compromise (like putting your valuables in a box out in a room rather than in the garage.)
In exchange for holding onto valuable experience, the sessile nodes get protected and propagated.
How Trumpets regulate their ecosystem
Predators of the system kill their prey in a controlled, instant way. Prey nodes designated for eating have no fear, and live healthy lives prior.
In return, predator nodes provide herbivores with information and protection from non-trumpets.
Since herbivore nodes have an equally powerful say in the decisions of predators, they have selected for individuals with weaker prey drives towards nodes used for computation.
Trumpets cycle their resources in a methodical, efficient way to allow the minds of all nodes to focus on communicating.
The same goes for vegetation. Since they hold memories, they grow nutrient rich, dataless crops for herbivores to eat instead of anything vital.
A trumpet may involuntarily alter the ratios of node types, but only in emergencies. Think of adrenaline, or inflammation from isolation. A panicking trumpet who fears for its safety can birth more predator nodes, but will need to devote energy to sowing more food soon. Trumpets prefer homeostasis in their ecosystems.
Nearly all of the nutrients the trumpet cycles start from the large autotrophic body who photosynthesizes and filter feeds, then distributes its resources into organisms that subsist commensally or formerly parasitically on it. The trumpet allots for them and is not harmed.
Many of these sessile organisms are descendants of jet propulsed lineages and can still move around (think of anemones).
Tools
Trumpets develop tools by breeding for species or species’ byproducts. Knives were among the first inventions through the extended mouthparts of small, portable nodes. Technology is spread via sharing studs.
Loneliness at the edge of language density
Trumpets are unable to integrate aliens into their biology, but do enjoy talking with groups of aliens (to account for language density).
The sophonts most capable of communicating with trumpets with minimal resources (excluding life support, which would make them one of the most resource intensive) are boxkites, who have a fractal sense of individuality—a group of individuals together is as singular as one individual alone.
A group of 30 boxkites can maintain a conversation with a trumpet, since each boxkite can establish tactile communication with up to 4 simultaneous partners, combining processing power.
To answer your question
Trumpets communicate using lasers produced via nodes with gas bladders and electric organs.
They are quick thinkers, but their perception of time a ‘train of thought’ is more fluid than ours.
Depending on the species of the node, stimuli are observed at different rates, density, and types.
Trumpets are capable of having multiple simultaneous lines of thought by directing nodes to communicate within clusters.
On focus
A trumpet’s focus is its priority on nodes facing novel situations or issues.
If the group of nodes are small sensory prey, information intake becomes rapid and perceptive capacity grows with it.
If the focus is on a sessile node who’s registering a gradual increase in food scents, perceptive ability decreases as more priority is placed on the nodes who can report vital information at any moment, but not very densely or quickly.
Trumpets can have multiple foci at once, but since their total mental bandwidth is finite, all foci add up to the total communicative capacity of the trumpet.
Trumpets can theoretically evenly distribute their focus to every node, but it would be nearly impossible to make decisions more complex than reflexes and first-come-first-serve communication between nodes, meaning valuable messages are given as much weight as run-of-the-mill reports. This is a stupor state for trumpets.
On the other end, putting total communicative priority on a single node will mean any report of the focus will interrupt all other channels, like national alerts on television. This tunnel vision state is also unproductive, only approached by trumpets who have extreme distrust.
First contact
Trumpets were contacted by a team of crowns who detected a living presence on the trumpet homeworld.
The first trumpets contacted were a community. Due to the lack of infrastructure and the sheer size of the planet, a portion of the total trumpet population is still learning about the first contact years later. Languages have been deciphered and a peaceful, minimal presence is established for researchers.
Oz is one of the trumpets who learns about the first contact a little while after it happens. He’s skeptical, and dismisses the aliens’ small and quiet operations. He establishes himself as to not be bothered—alien organizations have agreed to leave trumpets alone upon their requests.
Trumpets are buoyant and carried by the wind. The largest body is free floating, but may be (slowly) thrusted manually by jet-propelled nodes.
More on Boxkite group language
Gal the boxkite is only capable of casually communicating with one partner at a time, two if she strains herself.
Even talking with one partner, boxkite tactile language is very dense.
Humans and other sophonts can equip touch pad translators on their bodies for boxkites to type on. The translated messages can be linked to a speaker or earpiece.
Infant boxkites aggregate in groups to compensate for their limited individual cognitive ability.

Speaking Trumpet, early 19th century
The speaking trumpet or the megaphone is nothing more than an instrument that should enable the spoken word to be heard well even at a distance. The usual trumpet used at sea was made of brass to withstand the conditions at sea. There were also special presentation examples made of silver. However, the speaking trumpet could sometimes be used for more than just speaking. If the urinal was broken or the master got on an officer’s nerves, the trumpet was used as a urinal to express the displeasure.

imagine making something a bunch of decades ago and then decades later some rando on the internet, something in its infancy back when you posted to it frequently, is making you into their manic pixie dream elderly woman for their own sense of fulfillment and also patreon money and ad revenue (and "genuine passion" whatever). and like calling your home and sending people to your address. that's weird right. and then for them to dance on pretenses about how the person whose family you're stalking was totally real as if the video about stalking a dead woman because her art made them obsessed doesn't directly imply the opposite of their end disclaimers in its framing.
It's nice to know who made the things we care about. It's hard to find out they're no longer alive, and wonder if they knew how much their art was loved. Frankly, pestering the direct family members at a time of year hard for people dealing with loss (American Thanksgiving) and then publishing the video around another one (Christmas) is not the right way to go about delivering that message, all while waxing poetic about how you're not going to wax poetic about your idea of a woman who made the art, and then waxing poetic about the idea of her as a dead woman rather than her as an artist. The video is so self aware in how intrusive, dehumanizing, and pretentious it is, all while saying "i'm not gonna get dehumanizing or intrusive about it i promise <3"
There are ways to honour the memory of an artist, to give them the credit they are due, to spread their creation with people who will love it, without like, planning a date to send your bestie TO THEIR HOUSE.......
